In my September Newsletter, I share what I’m seeing in Brooklyn and Staten Island markets, recent client successes, practical buyer and seller tips, and upcoming Bay Ridge events.

I’m also hosting an open house this Saturday, 9/5, 12-1:30pm, at 830 Howard Ave, apt 4H in Staten Island.

Read the newsletter and see the listing here:

Happy September! The moment the school emails started arriving, everything at once, I knew summer is coming to an end. Life and real estate have both been busy.

I share mostly real estate here, so today I thought I’d share a bit of my summer, too ☀️
A few of my favorite moments from a month in Greece, finally making their way out of camera roll.

What was the highlight of your summer?

There’s more to 830 Howard Avenue than what’s inside the apartment.

Highview Condo was recognized by the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce with an Excellence Award for Natural Beauty & Interior Decorating in 2009 — and today, the building and grounds continue to be beautifully maintained.

From the welcoming entrance and lobby to the greenery surrounding the property, the setting is part of what makes living here special.

Currently available: Apartment 4H — a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo with a beautifully renovated kitchen and assigned garage parking.

Send me a message for details and to schedule a private showing.

At a time when much of the real estate industry is moving towards consolidation and increasingly large brokerage platforms, our brokerage has returned to its roots as an independent brokerage.

1st Premier Realty Network has been serving the community for nearly 30 years.

If you’ve worked with me before, not much is changing. I’m still serving buyers and sellers throughout Brooklyn and Staten Island with the same personal, professional, data-driven approach to real estate.

You’ll simply start seeing 1st Premier Realty instead of Weichert on my emails and online presence.

I’m excited about this next chapter.

Different name. Same commitment to my clients.

More to come soon. ❤️

We can't wait to see you all there! 🇬🇷

A lot changed over the first half of 2026, including housing market forecasts.

Mortgage rates are expected to stay elevated. 👎

Existing and new home sales (nationally) were revised down 👎

However, home prices growth forecast was revised upwards from 2.1% to 2.6% nationally 👍

Of course conditions vary locally, and I did not see reliable forecasts specifically for NYC. If I had to guess, I would predict flat to slightly higher sales, and positive price growth, since we are already seeing 4%+ yoy increase in median list prices.

Asked AI to create a caricature of me based on what it knows about me and my work. I think it approves 🤣

One thing it got wrong - I’m not ‘Brooklyn born’. I’m Brooklyn by choice.
